Organic Nomenclature: A Programmed Introduction for Students

The Sixth Edition of Organic Nomenclature: A Programmed Introduction is the perfect complement to your first organic chemistry course or for quick review in later courses. It emphasizes the rules, styles, and details of IUPAC names, including punctuation and spacing, which are used almost exclusively in Chemical Abstracts indexing. The text includes a separate treatment of functional group classes and combines coverage of aliphatic and aromatic compounds. Additionally, it focuses more on systematic nomenclature than on unsystematic names that may have little use in the future.
